    Huh, the Sahara is way further north than I thought. Was not expecting the equator to be Congo.

    But yeah as others have said, it’s because it’s also the wettest part of the world

      Most of the landmass is Northern. And America is way more south than we think. New England is as southern as spain, Miami and houston are as south as sub saharian Africa.

      Capetown is like 30 degree south (as south as North Africa is North) and even the famous is cape horn is roughly as south as Dublin is North
